Doorways and floorways



image by Picasso

The open door,
She yearns to please
On crowded floors
and bended knees
Termites in the things she read
We suck the blood
Inside our head
Canvas Vampire Skin
I am light yet dark within
and all the cries
the egg doth scream
Mother, mother
hear your team

Bottom Barrel



image by Picasso

I scraped the bottom barrel
Whilst chomping on my tongue
limbs would close on dreams
days when times were wrong
and all those shattered schedules
Of a nuptial day
The dreams that kiss
Then fade away, the mouth that feeds
into the silence
ideas are bloody
they bring minds violence
and yet i seek the acid
the thirst of an idea
quenching this sand mouth
silk on throat
Liquor in blood
I am a verbal alcoholic

The emancipation of your imagination: Inspiration and where to find it


image by Jelly716



Your walking along a muddy pasture. It's expected anyway, but right there you see a huge pile of dung (shit). When you walk to the left of it, it kind of looks like a human hand, your Friend 'Ben' would probably get a real kick out of this. Although he has a carrot shaped like some bunny ears, and a mango with an indent that looks like MikeTyson .... Inspiration

Inspiration. It can be found somewhere and everywhere. If you don't pay attention, you wont discover it. Maybe it's walks you take, swimming, watching a movie, flicking through pages of an immaculate, uncreased, 1960's issue of vogue. If you don't look, you wont find. Seek, and search deep. Some people find inspiration when they spill too much jam on an overly cooked pancake, they invent a new recipe, maybe pancakes and chilli, with a hint of black eyed beans. A creative way to teach an annoying mother in law, not to intrude on an early sexual encounter with hubby. Whatever it is, Unlike the stories we've been sold many a time about geniuses like Picasso, monet and many others kissed with the gift of inspiration. Inspiration takes imagination, and imagination, takes work. A sense of freedom, and not torturing yourself with perfectionism. Anthony Robbins once said someone who worked for him had made the most genius statement. "We write for the waste paper basket," if your a writer anyway. Freedom to think, explore, design, adjust, should always be apparent in the initial stages.  Enjoy your work, but more importantly, enjoy why your working. Whenever you feel it is turning into a chore, amp up the music, switch on a seminar that motivates and inspires you, go renegade on yourself. There is enough energy, enough flow, to help you on your journey. Take yourself to a peaceful place of flow. It is your treat.
